+# ADR 003 — Application-Owned Authoritative State
+
+**Status:** Accepted
+
+## Decision
+
+The application, not the language model, will own authoritative story history and state.
+
+## Context
+
+Language models do not reliably preserve long-term continuity and should not be trusted as the sole record of facts, branches, checkpoints, or campaign history.
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+- rely on chat transcript/model context,
+- rely on rolling summaries only,
+- application-owned structured state plus immutable history.
+
+## Reason
+
+Application-owned state enables:
+
+- persistence,
+- rollback,
+- branching,
+- continuity,
+- inspection,
+- export,
+- deterministic recovery,
+- debugging.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- model outputs that imply state changes should be treated as proposals,
+- state updates require validation,
+- the database must remain authoritative even if the model contradicts it.
